TULSA, Okla.

Tulsa police are seeking to question a man arrested in Kansas on an outstanding domestic assault warrant in connection with the slayings of four women found dead inside a Tulsa apartment.

Tulsa police spokeswoman Jill Roberson says the 33-year-old man was arrested Tuesday night during a traffic stop in Independence, Kan. She said police were looking to return the man to Tulsa and she was unaware Wednesday if homicide detectives had had a chance to speak with him.

Roberson says the man is not a suspect in Monday's shooting deaths of 23-year-old twin sisters Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor, 33-year-old Misty Nunley, and 55-year-old Julie Jackson. But Roberson says the man was known to frequent the area and that his name surfaced as part of the investigation into the killings.
